Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different kinds of music—from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular? Is it their music? Their looks? Yes, it’s both of these things, but it’s also something else: they’re elephants.
These musical elephants are from the Thai Elephant Conservation Center (TECC) in Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and care for these huge but gentle animals. And, like many zoos around the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint.
Richard Lair works with the TECC. He knew that elephants hear better than they see. So he had an idea: if elephants are intelligent and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra (管弦乐队). During a performance, the elephants play a variety of instruments, including the drums and the xylophones (木琴). The animals also use their voices and trunks to make sounds.
But can elephants really make music properly? Yes, says Lair. They’re very creative. Humans may encourage the animals to play instruments, but the elephants make their own songs, they don’t just copy their trainers or other people. There are now CDs of the group’s music, which make money for the TECC. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.

B[2022呈贡区一模改编]
Since its publication in 1908, Anne of Green Gables (《绿山墙的安妮》) has been a favorite book of teenagers all over the world. What it teaches us is simple: How to grow up to be a happy and useful person.
Anne is an 11-year-old orphan(孤儿) who arrives in the town of Avonlea, Canada. She helps Mathew and Marilla Cuthbert, a brother and sister, on their farm.
At first, Mathew and Marilla hope to adopt(收养) a boy, not a thin girl. Will she be helpful and useful on the farm? It seems no. Anne loves to imagine, talk and she is easily distracted (分心的). So at first, she seems to be useless for a farm.
However, Anne tells others that she can be useful in her action. She works really hard. But she doesn’t lose her powerful sense of fun — and this is why readers love the story. She doesn’t become “a good girl”, if “good girl” means knowing only how to work and live unhappily. We see Anne’s love for life everywhere. She knows how to enjoy herself, whether it’s by eating ice cream or trying on a new dress.
Many stories for children try to tell them how to behave well. Usually, it means doing one’s duty (责任) and not having any fun. But the Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery didn’t want to do it. The book gives readers a helping hand rather than try to push them into being “good” girls and boys.
1. Which of the following can best describe Anne according to the passage?
A. Serious and lazy. B. Funny and hardworking.
C. Funny and lazy. D. Unhappy and easily distracted.
2. The author is from .
A. Russia B. England C. France D. Canada
3. The underlined word “publication” in Paragraph 1 means “ ” in Chinese.
A. 分发 B. 生产 C. 出版 D. 销售
4. Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Annie is always sad and doesn’t know how to enjoy herself.
B. Annie is useless on the farm because she is easily distracted.
C. Annie becomes “a good girl” who lives unhappily.
D. Annie works really hard and she knows how to be happy.
5. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Having fun and being useful on the farm B. An 11-year-old orphan named Anne
C. A good girl always knows her duties D. A book named Anne of Green Gables
